The Sundogs would be the first to draw blood in the first period as Paul Kurceba tallied his first goal of the season following a collision with Rush goaltender Tim Boron, who would eventually leave the ice for the remainder of the game.

Derek LeBlanc kept things rolling for the Sundogs with a wrap around goal 9:20 into the second period. With only 54 seconds remaining, Scott Wray skated down the middle slot lifting the puck top shelf to cut the lead in half by second intermission.

Just 5:01 into the third, Chad Nehring would capitalize on an early Rush penalty, notching a power play goal to extend the Sundogs lead. Adam Smyth sealed the game with an empty net goal to lift Arizona to a 4-1 win.
